About this Research Topic
Energy and the environment are always the focus of human urbanization. The current energy revolution is promoting in-depth developments in zero-carbon and low-carbon fuels, such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels, alcohol fuels, and liquid sunlight. This transformation in energy structure inevitably imposes new environmental impacts, driving global attention toward achieving energy and environmental sustainability. Therefore, it is crucial to explore the emissions and potential pollution of these novel energy sources.
Currently, power machinery continues to be a dominant power source across transportation, agriculture, engineering, and naval industries. The combustion emissions processes of such power machinery are varied and strongly depend on the fuel properties. This dependence brings forth an environmental challenge: how to identify the emissions from new energy sources and achieve high efficiency and low emission of power machinery.
Under this evolving energy structure, this Research Topic aims to address new environmental challenges it poses. The focus is on the emerging pollutants from combustion emissions processes of new energy sources and their environmental impacts. This Research Topic is targeted at showcasing the latest developments in the field and providing valuable theoretical insights and data support for researchers and practitioners within the energy and atmospheric environment sectors.
We welcome contributions in the following areas:
• combustion emissions from zero-carbon and low-carbon sustainable fuels;
• atmospheric pollution from zero-carbon and low-carbon sustainable fuels;
• interaction of pollutants in the environment;
• vehicle emissions;
• volatile organic compounds (VOCs);
• after-treatment technology.
